The state Department of Labor said it recovered $6.1 million in unpaid wages in fiscal year 2014, down from $6.6 million the year before.
DOL investigated 2,337 complaints during the year that ended June 30.
The largest portion of the total was $1.6 million that was owed to 514 workers who were paid an incorrect amount when working at public-project construction sites.
A nearly equal amount recovered was related to unpaid wages affecting 1,649 employees, the agency said.
